Wenatex Blog :: Healthy Sleep for a Better Life

Brought to you by Wenatex. Wenatex - Sleep, Health, Science

I found this great article on an American website recently which gives 10 excellent tips for how to get a better night’s sleep. Check it out at http://www.webmd.com/sleep-disorders/guide/10-tips-to-get-better-sleep

However, I would consider adding tip number 11 to this list: Make sure that your bed is the best quality you can buy and that it meets some strict health criteria. It should be scientifically proven to:

a.      Allow you to sleep in an anatomically neutral position

b.      Help you maintain a constant body temperature

c.      Be hygienic by being able to be washed

Although, the science of sleep strongly opposes reading in bed, I have to tell you, I need to read something to switch off my thinking and help me get off to sleep. I usually spend 20 minutes or so reading some pearls of wisdom, and this puts me to sleep like a baby with a big smile.

I would like to share with you one of my readings…I hope you will consider sharing some of your favourites as well.

The book I am currently reading is called Virtue and Happiness, The Manual of Epictetus. Previous to reading this, I did not know who this Greek gentlemen was… but… Oh la la… he is amazing! I will leave you with one of his beautiful writings:

Signs of someone who is progressing:

He blames no one,
He praises no one,
He complains of no one,
He accuses no one,
He never speaks of himself as of someone important or who knows something.

Until tomorrow,  be wise and have fun!
